sported rich and colorful Death penalty vote: ‘It’s going to be close’ By Jim Brown OTTAWA (CP) — As the Commons prepares for a vote on whether to bring back the death penalty, one phrase keeps creeping into conversations on Parliament Hill: “It’s going to be close.” Deputy Prime Minister Don Ma-zankowski has served notice that the government will invoke closure today, limiting debate to one last day and forcing a key vote on the principle of restoring capital punishment.Opposition Liberals and New Democrats may try to find a procedural trick to prevent it, but the government is expected to prevail and the vote should be held by 1 a.m.EDT Tuesday.within five votes either way,” says Liberal Warren Allmand, who sponsored the bill that abolished the noose in 1976.His estimate of a five-vote margin is the one most commonly heard among MPs opposed to the death penalty.Those who favor restoration often allow a bit more leeway, saying the margin will be within 10.Supporters of capital punishment also tend to speak more confidently — at least in public.Bill Domm ( PC-Peterborough), the informal leader of the campaign for restoration among Conservative backbenchers, says he has something more than the bare majority of 140 MPs needed for victory.NOT SPECIFIC Warren A llmand.five votes either way.numbers and adds some important qualifications: If there are no more last-minute switches; if there are no surprises among those who still publicly refuse to say how they will vote : if everybody shows up for the late-night vote.“One person not voting could change the outcome,” Domm concedes when pressed.Allmand also qualifies his estimate of a five-vote margin when pressed He doesn't think his side will lose by more than five, but say s “if we win it could be by one or two.” Some other MPs who oppose capital punishment say privately they don't think they can win.but they hope to make it so close that the campaign for restoration will stall before a bill can get through the Commons.If the first vote favors a return to the death penalty in principle, a committee of MPs will draft a bill during the summer, specifying the precise offences to be punishable by death and the method of execution.The bill will be submitted for further debate starting in September, in a legislative process that could take a year or more to complete.CLOSE COUNT?Patrick Cavanaugh of Amnesty International, the human rights organization that has lobbied against restoration, says his head count indicates that “if we win it will probably be because some people in favor of the death penalty don’t show up.” A close vote would be a moral victory, since Amnesty estimated four months ago that more than 170 MPs could vote for restoration — enough to carry the House by a margin of more than 60 votes.Although the vote is a free one, in which MPs are not bound by party lines, the 30 New Democrats in the House are all opposed to resoration and the only one of the 40 Liberals likely to vote for it is George Baker of Newfoundland.Among the 208-member Tory caucus, support for restoration is strongest in Ontario and the West.It is weakest by far in Quebec, where many of the 57 Tory MPs are political newcomers with little previous connection to the Conservative party who rode Mulroney s coattails to victory in 1984.There are 279 sitting MPs, including Speaker John Fraser, who voted against abolition of the death penalty in 1976.Fraser will not vote this time unless there is a tie.“If everybody shows up, it’s But he does not offer specific aggis: A culinary delight 5 a gastronomic disaster LONDON (Reuter) — Haggis, the national dish of Scotland, has officially been pronounced a gastronomic disaster by a group of international food experts.Haggis consists of a sheep’s minced heart, liver and lungs cooked with oatmeal and seasoning in the skin of the animal’s stomach.Many Scots regard it as sheer delight.However, the International Epicurean Circle, a London-based group that exists to further the cause of good food, has ruled that haggis is “the most horrible gastronomic and culinary disaster of the century.” Its president.Jean Conil, rubbed salt in the wound by saying: “It is sad that such good food should be wasted by such appalling results.A French version exists which would seem to produce a better flavor, omitting the oats but with eggs and whisky to fortify it.” The Scottish Tourist Authority quickly defended the national dish.“The ancient Greeks and the Romans both had their own form of haggis, so not only does the Scottish dish taste superb, it also has a magnificent pedigree,” a spokesman said Cadieux changes his mind Kelly named as mediator to solve postal dispute By Dave Blaikie OTTAWA (CP) — Bill Kelly, widely regarded as the country’s top labor trouble shooter, was named Sunday to mediate the national postal strike.The appointment by Labor Minister Pierre Cadieux came hours after Canada Post and the 20,000-member Letter Carriers' Union of Canada broke off talks and appealed a second time for a mediator to help end the often violent 13-day-old strike.Canada Post plans to stop the use of strikebreakers for the first seven days of mediation.Cadieux, who rejected appoint ment of a mediator last Tuesday, said he changed his mind in the meantime because circumstances had changed and it appeared mediation efforts might be beneficial despite a bargaining impasse on key contract issues.“I strongly urge the management of Canada Post and the representatives of the (union) to take every advantage of Mr.Kelly’s expertise,” he told reporters.Mediation is a legal process under the Canada Labor Code but mediators have no authority to impose a settlement.Kelly, an associate deputy labor minister and head of the federal mediation and conciliation service, has settled three national postal disputes dating back to 1970.He said he will try to get talks going again today and hopes both sides can be persuaded to compromise.“If these parties are going to make a settlement — and it will be them who will make the settlement — they’re going to have to backoff rigid positions,” he told reporters.“Maybe with some outside guidance we might be able to help them do that.” Canada Post is demanding unprecedented concessions from the union to implement a sweeping post office austerity program imposed by the Conservative government last November.The union wants its old contract renewed without change except for a small raise in its basic $13.43 hourly wage to help offset inflation.Striking carriers have disrupted mail service nationally since they began rotating walkouts June 16.Picket lines were up Sunday in 70 communities in Prince Edward Island, Northern Ontario and British Columbia.Union president Bob McGarry welcomed Kelly’s appointment.“He’s fair and he knows the issues.If anybody can bring us together, it’s probably him,” McGarry said “We’re glad to have a man of his experience,” added John Caines, chief media spokesman for Canada Post.“He’s been down this road before.” Harold Dunstan, top negotiator for Canada Post, said in renewing his appeal for a mediator Sunday that the use of strikebreakers would stop for a week if the government acted on his request.The union says strikebreakers are responsible for turning the dispute into the most violent postal strike in Canadian history.Kelly’s appointment was taken by some as a sign that the government may be ready to give Canada Post some new room to negotiate a settlement.“It would be unfair to Kelly to say he doesn’t pick fights he can’t win,” one national labor leader, who asked not to be identified, said.“But he’s no fool.He wouldn’t get involved if there was no hope of settling the thing.” The call for a mediator was made Sunday in back-to-back news conferences by Canada Post and the union at the downtown Chateau Laurier Hotel where neeotiatinns have been held.Dunstan said minor progress had been made on minor issues without a mediator but there had been no movement by either side on major issues.The agency wants carriers to deliver more mail, accept a one-year pay freeze, remain out on routes over lunch hour and, in the case of new carriers, provide their own cars to drive back and forth from their routes.McGarry said the demands are being made despite significant improvements in productivity by all workers at Canada Post.Kelly was mediator before By Dave Blaikie OTTAWA (CP) - Bill Kelly, the man the federal government has asked to mediate the postal strike, is regarded by many as the best labor trouble shooter in the country.Tough, fair, trustworthy, wily, patient and shrewd are a few of the words used over the years by union leaders and management alike todescribe Kelly’s style as a cajoling middleman at the bargaining table.He also thrives best in the full glare of national publicity — when stakes are highest.Three times, dating back to 1970, Kelly has been called on to find common ground between the pqst office and its warring unions and each time he has come up with a settlement.Before that he was at the centre of several spectacular disputes in the 1960s involving the government and fractious railway unions.Now nearing retirement, Kelly, 63, has headed the federal mediation and conciliation service since 1966 and has been an associate deputy minister of labor since 1985.Whether he can end his career in a blaze of glory by settling the most violent national mail strike ever is an open question: mediators have no power beyond their own gifts of persuasion But if anyone can break the deadlock, it is probably the man who began his labor career as a railway brakeman in 1945.There isn’t much he hasn’t seen or dealt over the years.The last time Kelly was thrown into a postal dispute was just over a year ago.His antagonists then were the same as now — a Crown agency on one side anxious to slash costs and the 20,000-member Letter Carriers’ Union of Canada on the other determined not to make concessions.Kelly settled that dispute by keeping the two sides talking for 39 straight hours, clinching the deal at 2 a m.with both sides too worn out to celebrate. 2—The RECORD—Monday, June 29, 1987 Mulroney pokes fun then steals socialist ideas, says Broadbent TORONTO (CP) — Prime Minister Brian Mulroney should explain to Canadians why he likes New Democratic Party policies enough to steal them, but then makes fun of them in front of his own party members, NDP Leader Ed Broad-bent said Sunday.Broadbent was responding to jokes made at the expense of his party — and personal jabs at specific NDP members of Parliament— by Mulroney during a speech to young Conservatives on Saturday.“Mr.Mulroney should tell the people of Canada why he finds NDP issues like tax reform and child care so attractive,’’ Broadbent said in a telephone interview from his Ottawa home.“It’s bizarre.He’s sounding like an opposition leader rather than a prime minister.” Referring to recent opinion polls showing the NDP is the party favored by most Canadians, Mulroney called Broadbent the “honorable leader of the Socialist Party” and tried to envision what Canada would be like under his government.He attacked the NDP policy to withdraw Canada from NATO if it wins power, saying he and his party “will fight the socialists from one end of Canada to the other.” ANSWERS MULRONEY Broadbent said it’s “the prime minister’s job to defend his government, but instead he’s going on the attack.“He’s obviously feeling extremely defensive about his party’s standing these days.” A poll done for Southam News last week suggested the NDP is currently the choice of 40 per cent of decided voters.The poll put the Liberals at 32 per cent and the Conservatives in the popularity cellar with the support of only 26 per cent of decided voters.Broadbent said the Conservatives are stealing his party’s issues — including tax reform and child care — to gain popularity.He added, though, that the government isn’t implementing them the way the NDP would.“For the first time in the history of the country, we’ve got a government that has been in last place (in popularity polls) for the longest period of time,” Broadbent said.He said Mulroney’s weekend attack on the NDP — in which he also made fun of New Democrat MPs Pauline Jewett and Svend Robinson — was “old hat, old-style politics” and not particularly effective.COUNTERS ATTACKS Broadbent also said he doubts Canadians would like the personal attacks made by the prime minister.Mulroney won laughter and applause during his speech when he asked the audience to consider Jewett as defence minister and Robinson as justice minister.“Given the number of resignations for wrongdoing in his gover- nment, one would think Mr.Mulroney would be worrying more about the performance of his own MPs,” Broadbent said.He said he is willing to have a public policy debate “anytime” with the prime minister.Buoyed by its continuing popularity in opinion polls, the NDP announced Sunday it will start a campaign this fall to raise $2 million more for its election campaign budget.The party’s federal council said the money will be added to the $4 million it already has committed to election preparation.MLA over a barrel on language issue EDMONTON (CP)—New Democrat Leo Piquette is “80-per-cent certain” he won’t apologize for speaking French in the Alberta legislature even though he could be jailed, fined or barred from his seat.Piquette cited “strong pressure” from francophone organizations and his constituents in Atha-basca-Lac La Biche as reasons to ignore the recommendations made last week by a legislative committee.The committee found that Piquette breached house privileges and ruled he should apologize for failing to uphold Speaker David Carter’s “absolute authority,” for trying to undermine Carter, and for “casting certain reflections” on him.“It verges on the ridiculous,” Piquette said of the recommendation, which must still be debated and voted on in the next legislative session, likely this fall.The Legislative Assembly Act states that a person found guilty of breach of privilege is liable to a fine, imprisonment or suspension of the right to sit and vote “for a stated period or until fulfilment of the order.” The possibility of penalties “has me over a barrel,” Piquette admitted Sunday before leaving on a 10-day vacation in southern Alberta.“I want to uphold language rights, but I must also serve my constituency.” TRIES FRENCH L’Affaire Piquette, as it has been described by the Quebec press, began last April after Carter ruled the New Democrat out of order when he tried to pose a question in French to Conservative Education Minister Nancy Betkowski.Prime Minister Brian Mulroney has expressed dismay over the incident, and Piquette said he would try to enlist support from Tory poli-ticians across Canada “because the recommendation calls into question the Meech Lake accord.” The accord, which was strongly supported by Premier Don Getty, says the first ministers agree to entrench in the Constitution that Parliament and the provincial legislatures are committed to preserving a fundamental characteristic of Canada — “the existence of French-speaking Canada, centred in but not limited to Quebec, and English-speaking Canada, concentrated outside Quebec but also present in Quebec.” At a weekend convention in Quebec City, La Federation des francophones hors Quebec, which represents French-speaking Canadians outside Quebec, passed a unanimous resolution denouncing the Alberta committee recommendation.“I’ve had a lot of calls from people representing francophone groups,” said Piquette.“They feel that an apology would seriously undermine French language rights.” Feisty terriers prove dangerous watch dogs OTTAWA (CP) — A woman was sent to hospital with facial injuries after an unprovoked attack by a pit bull terrier and police were called to subdue another terrier that kept a family at bay for two hours earlier Saturday.In the first incident, a terrier attacked a woman from nearby Na-van, Ont., after becoming agitated when it heard her scream with glee while visiting a friend’s home, an Ontario Provincial Police spokesman said.The 20-year-old woman was treated for wounds to her face and released from hospital, said Const.Mike Fortier.“The lady was at a friend’s place sitting on the floor playing a drinking game when she screamed with excitement,” Fortier said, adding the two-year-old female dog attacked the woman without pro vocation."The dog bit her in the mouth and cheek area,” he said, adding that he didn’t know whether the woman required stitches.Police aren't releasing the name of the dog’s owner and haven’t confiscated the animal.They've ordered the owner to keep it tied up for 14 days.Fortier said police didn’t plan to lay charges against the owner because the victim and owner were friends and the woman didn't want to take her friend to court.No one was injured the other incident Saturday afternoon when a pit bull terrier escaped from its kennel behind an Ottawa home.HARS DOG Angela Grant said she had just come out her back door when the dog appeared at the back of the yard and growled.Grant said she went back in the house and tried to go out the front door, but “(the dog) came barrelling between the houses, so we turned around and high tailed it back into the house.” The dog’s owner, Wendy Kinghill, wasn’t home so Grant called the police who called city animal control.After police and animal control officers arrived, they called police in nearby Nepean, Ont.The Nepean officers came with a tranquillizer gun, but by then the owner had returned and had the animal under control.Ottawa police said they’re investigating the incident and haven’t decided whether to lay charges.Neighbors said there had never been a problem with the dog before.It is usually kept chained in the unfenced backyard or in the kennel with its three puppies.Ottawa Alderman Darrel Kent said he’s planning a bylaw to penalize people who raise dogs for aggression.“What I’m after is something that will penalize people very heavily who get into creating something which might endanger the environment for citizens and at the same time have respect for people who like pets.” said

teeth, a Canadian dental researcher says.“We have a tremendous problem on our hands,” Dr.Murray Vimy, chief dental instructor at the University of Calgary medical school, told a conference of dentists Saturday.Mercury vapors from silver amalgam fillings accumulate in the body and may lead to a variety of illnesses, including a disorder resembling multiple sclerosis, Vimy told members of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology.Mourners of flight gather TORONTO (CP) — The pain of Air-India Flight 182 lives on in Anita Mehrotra.“Time hasn’t done anything for me,” she said quietly, wiping tears away with a white handkerchief.Mehrotra lost her only brother, Satish, and his entire family on the flight.She was one of about 300 people who gathered Saturday at a Toronto high school to mark the second anniversary of the June 23,1985, crash that killed all 329 people aboard, mostly Canadians of East Indian origin.“The fact we are all victims here together sharing our grief makes life livable,” said Na-rayan Turlapati, 46, who lost his only two sons in the crash.Stud draws big bucks ARVA, Ont.(CP) — It’s great work if you can get it, but it helps to have a proven track record.A three-year-old charcoal grey Arabian stallion named Norus will be pulling in about $30,000 a fling after a Virginia horse breeder plunked down a cool $2.4 million on the weekend for the stallion’s breeding rights.Ted Dienhardt bought the right to 80 breedings at a star-studded horse auction Saturday at Stonebridge Farms near this community north of London, Ont.Six buyers paid more than $4.4 million for six horses, six unborn foals and the breeding rights to Norus at the auction attended by 5,200 people.Prince begins island tour CHARLOTTETOWN (CP) — Prince Edward was surrounded by his own name Sunday as he began a three-day visit to Canada’s smallest province.“It is only in this province you will be able to relax in the Prince Edward room of the Prince Edward Hotel in Prince Edward Island,” federal Environment Minister Tom McMillan told the prince at a black-tie state dinner that treated the prince and 500 of the Island’s elite to duck soup, veal and tresh strawberries.McMillan, the Island’s representative in the federal cabinet, noted that P.E.I.was named in the early 19th Century after Edward’s great-great-great grandfather, Edward Duke of Kent, who once commanded the British military in Halifax.No enthusiasm for Wilson EDMONTON (CP) — Federal Finance Minister Michael Wilson sought support for a new federal sales tax Sunday.But he got only polite applause and a list of concerns from the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce.Wilson said the current hidden tax on items such as automobiles, snacks and some services is antiquated and favors imports, which discourages Canadian producers.“It is absolutely necessary that we move to a new type of tax.The existing tax is not working.” He said the current tax has resulted in lost investment opportunities worth $8 billion.Immigration passes to customs EDMONTON (CP) — A proposed immigration policy that would fine companies for bringing anyone who is not an official refugee into Canada will see bus and airline agents doing the work of immigration officers, a Toronto New Democrat MP said Sunday.Bill 55 would “build a high fence” around Canada, shutting out a majority of refugees who seek asylum here, including those in real danger of persecution, said Dan Heap.The Spadina MP was in Edmonton to address a public forum sponsored by the Multicultural Advisory Committee.Weather Increasing cloudiness

office in London has informed a Grande Prairie winery Andrew and Sarah themselves can be served only French red and German white wines.Cled Lewis of Lewis Brothers Winery had applied to the protocol office to serve the couple his company’s wines during their visit to this northwestern Alberta city July 25.When he was refused, Lewis responded by writing a letter of protest to the Duke and Duchess.Turner hasn’t given up .WHITEHORSE (CP) — Liberal Leader John Turner told Yukon residents Sunday he hasn’t given up his fight to make the Meech Lake constitutional accord more equitable to the northern territory.Turner said his party will propose an amendment to the accord that would be a return to the former formula for creating provinces.“We will do that because we do not want to prevent the Yukon in its due time, when you are ready, to have the fair chance to enter confederation as a full provincial partner,” Turner said to rousing applause.B.C.sign source of contention KAMLOOPS, B.C.(CP) — The Kamloops sign on Mt.Paul in this southern Interior city has once again been hit by mischief makers.The first four letters of the sign have been partially covered by some kind of coloring, possibly red paint, spelling the word Oops.Kamloops answer to the Hollywood sign created a furore when it was first proposed, with one group of people describing it as a blight on the mountainside, and an equal number of residents saying it was a positive contribution to the city.U.S.income continues to rise WASHINGTON (AP) — The typical household in the United States earned $22,646 U.S.after taxes in 1985, up 0.9 per cent for the fourth consecutive annual increase, the Census Bureau reported Sunday.Household, after-tax income rose 8.9 per cent from 1981 to 1985, the report said, after adjusting for inflation.The study for 1985 provides the most current detailed statistics for household income.Other findings included: —After-tax income for white households averaged $23,484, up 0.8 per cent during the year.For black households the average was $15,790, up 2.9 per cent.Income for Hispanic households averaged $17,920, down 0.4 per cent.NBC on strike NEW YORK(Reuter)— Producers, news writers, editors and technicians went on strike early today against NBC, the top-rated U.S.television network.Thé strike by members of the National Association of Broadcast Employees and Technicians came after the company unilaterally imposed a new contract.NABET, which went on strike at just after midnight Sunday night, represents 2,800 of NBC’s 8.000 workers.The new two-year contract offers pay raises of just over eight per cent but permits the company to hire part-time employees to do work now performed by NABET members, a clause the union opposes.Such work rules — not the pay hike — lie at the heart of the dispute, say union leaders.Parades overshadowed by AIDS Hundreds of thousands of spectators watched as marchers, bands and floats filled parade routes in cities around the United States on Sunday in Gay Pride festivities that were shadowed by solemnity because of AIDS.“This is not as much a carnival as it once was,” said Joe Sieber, 41, of Daly City, Calif., as the San Francisco gay community’s 18th parade attracted some 100.000 people.Spectators in West Hollywood held hundreds of sea-green balloons, each bearing a card with the name of an AIDS victim, to be released during an opening ceremony.The balloons were sold to raise money for three local organizations offering counselling, education and service for AIDS victims.HAMBURG, West Germany (AP) — Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev has taken a keen per sonal interest in the case of 19-year-old West German pilot Mathias Rust and is regularly briefed on the investigation of his flight to Red Square, the Hamburg magazine Stern said.Meanwhile, a Soviet newspaper alleged Sunday that “well-known circles in the West” were responsible for planning Rust’s flight and said it was an attempt to provoke the Soviet Union and scuttle Soviet arms-control proposals.The latest issue of Stern describes Rust’s meeting with his parents, Karl-Heinz and Monika Rust, in Moscow’s Lefortovo prison, where he is being held.It also reports on their talks with his Soviet interrogators.Rust’s parents said he made the flight because he wanted to do something for peace and believes Gorbachev is serious about disarmament.EEC seeks solution to crash BRUSSELS (AP) — Leaders of the European Community will consider a new funding formula for the bankrupt trade bloc but it’s unlikely they’ll make any decisions at a summit that starts today, officials said.Instead, the leaders of the 12 member-countries will seek a temporary way out of the Community’s worst cash crisis and will leave until 1988 a solution about funding over the next five years, diplomatic sources said.“The big question at this summit will be the budget deficit.Many states would like a medium-term solution.Others just want to patch things up, ” Belgian Foreign Minister Leo Tinde-mans said Sunday.Cloud of dye colors food MILAN, Italy (AP) — A chemical cloud from a dye factory covered residents of a nearby factory town with blue, red and green spots and colored their food as they ate dinner, Italian newspapers reported Sunday.The cloud formed Saturday at the Sandoz plant in Paderno Dugnano, 10 kilometres north of Milan, when a zinc-based dye mixture was left untended by two workers who went to eat.Mayor Gianfranco Mastella posted a sign near the factory that said the chemical irritated eyes and mucous membranes.The compound is used to dye clothes and has a very low irritation level, Sandoz Italia officials said.Apartheid goes to church JOHANNESBURG ( Reuter) — The creation of a new, all-white church completes a split in the political, cultural and religious life of South Africa’s whites over the future of apartheid.Several thousand hard-line Afrikaners voted Saturday to quit the Dutch Reformed Church, which claims to have 1.7 milllion members.They will form a new body, the Afrikaans Reformed Church, to protest the old church’s decision to open its doors to all races.The split was the last step in a right-wing rebellion over President P.W.Botha's tentative apartheid reforms, which began with the formation of the far-right Conservative party in 1982.Indian blaze kills two NEW DELHI (AFP) — Several hundred people were feared trapped inside a blazing 15-storey building today in New Delhi’s main shopping district, officials said.A hospital spokesman said two people were brought in dead and up to 50 were injured, mostly from dense smoke.Officials said at least one person jumped to his death from the building and another person died in the flames.Two army helicopters rescued eight women from the office complex but had to pull back as the rotor blades were fanning the flames, officials said.Gulf attacks continue MANAMA (APi — The Norwegian supertanker Mia

Egil was being treated for severe burns and five other seamen were slightly hurt, a shipping agent said.The Mia Margrethe and another Scandinavian supertanker, the Swedish-operated Stena Concordia,

penalty and I have been for a long time,” the Tory member of Parliament for Megantic-Compton-Stanstead said in an interview Friday.“All of the five members of parliament in the Townships are opposed and none of the lawyers contacted me to find out how I felt.I don’t understand their attitude,” he said.The group of six lawyers held a press conference Thursday to make known their opposition to the reinstatement of the death penalty.They said four Townships MPs — Sherbrooke's Jean Charest (PC), Brome-Missisquoi’s Gabriel Bertrand iPC), Richmond-Wolfe s Alain Tardif iL) and Shefford s Jean Lapierre ID — had come out clearly opposed to the reestablishment of capital punishment.The group said only one MP — Gérin — had not made his views publically known.EASY TO CONTACT But Gérin said the lawyers never bothered to contact him to find out how he felt.“Out of the five, four of us are lawyers and members of the bar and we are easy to contact.I find they (the lawyers) are playing an amateur game,” he said.The group said Gérin would vote tonight in the House of Commons according to the position the members of his riding would take.But Gérin said he has already decided to vote against reinstatement.“I have always been against it and I have publicly made that statement.I asked the people in my riding who are for the reinstatement to send me documents to illustrate their arguments," he said.“It’s deplorable that legal aid didn't take the time to contact any of us.It shows a lackof seriousness on their part and I think they are just looking for a way to get publicity,” the MP said.Members of the House of Commons will vote on whether to reestablish the death penalty at 1 a.m.Tuesday.Gérin said he will have his chance to speak in the House on the issue late Monday afternoon and he said the vote afterwards, will be “very close".138 VS.137 “According to the latest poll 138 members are in favor of reinstatement and 137 are against.There are four members who have not made their decision,” he said.“The majority of the members of parliament in Ontario and the West are very strongly in favor of restoration,” he said.In Quebec.Gérin said, just over 65 of the 75 members have stated they are against the motion.The group prepared a brief stating their views on the issue which was made public Thursday.Charest offered to distribute tlie brief to all members of the House of Commons for the group But Gérin said he hasn't been given a copy yet.“They want to do something to help the debate but first they have to reach their members to know their position.They want to submit their document and it can easily be sent to the five members.I have not received it yet,” he said.LIFE IS SO IMPORTANT' Gérin said he opposes the restoration of capital punishment because he doesn't see any good arguments for reinstatement.“They have to prove it will bring something good for the country,” he said.“Life is so important we can't play with it.Gérin said he doesn't know exactly how his own riding feels about the issue."I have received 87 letters against it but it doesn’t indicate the exact position.It seems those against are lobbying more than those for." he said.Across the Eastern Townships.Gérin said polls seem to indicate that the majority of the population are against the reinstatement."Those in favor have a strong commitment," Gérin said, adding that those opposed are equally as strong on their views.The MP said when the debate is over Monday, more than UK) members of the House of Commons will have spoken and he feels that's enough.“Everyone is ready.The latest poll says 138 for, 137 against and four undecided.That proves each member knows about his opinion We don’t need another month or two months." ‘What else is there?I don’t want any discos.I don’t want any strip tease.’ — Mayor Hayward Ayer’s Cliff: Few opponents surface for Ripplecove Road housing projects By Melanie Gruer AYER’S CLIFF — Mayor Walter George Hayward says his town needs two new development projects in order to keep the taxes down.Hayward told a group of about 20 Ayer’s Cliff citizens at a special meeting Friday night that the two projects — a condominium development and a residence for the elderly — would cost about $2 million and would help the town’s economy.Secretary treasurer Ginette Gauvin presented figures she said showed that if the projects did not go through, taxes would increase from their present rate of $1.31 for every $100 of evaluations to $1.39 in 1994.Gauvin indicated that if the projects went ahead, the taxes would only be $1.30 by 1994.Last Monday, Councillor Jean-Pierre Denniss resigned his seat because he said unofficial figures showed the taxes would increase 46.5 per cent if the projects were not allowed to proceed.Denniss, a councillor who was in charge of financing for the town, said he didn’t want to be held responsible for such high taxes.LITTLE OPPOSITION But there was little opposition at the meeting Friday.The two promoters showed off their proposed projects and town councillors showed how the zoning would have to be changed if the projects were allowed to proceed.Prior to the meeting, Hayward said he had heard rumors there would be opposition to the rezoning but that was clearly not the case.Ivan Van Hausse, promoter of the residence for the elderly, explained his project would have 27 suites and rooms and would cost about $650 a month for each room and $1200 per month for the two-room suite.Bruno Perron said his $1.5 million condominium project would be built in two phases and that he wanted to keep the pines on the proposed lot to keep the “rustic” atmosphere of the site.RIPPLECOVE ROAD The residence for the elderly would be built on a lot between Ripplecove Road, Strathcona and Maple streets.But the lot would have to be withdrawn from residential zone RA54 to become a commercial zone.The condominium project would be located close to the residence, at Ripplecove Road and Cedar, bordering Lake Massawippi.But that lot too would have to be modified.One citizen asked the mayor if there were any other types of projects that could help the town’s economy.The mayor replied that he had been looking into a few nonpolluting industries which were interested in locating in Ayer’s Cliff but added, “What else is there?I don’t want any discos.1 don’t want any strip tease.” REFERENDUM?If the council faces opposition on rezoning for the projects, the decision could go to a referendum."Don't forget,” Hayward reminded the citizens, “a referendum costs the municipality $2,000 and that’s taxpayers’ money." Hayward explained that council will now pass a notice of motion.If it is accepted, the town will then pass the bylaw.Gauvin said if there is no opposition to the development projects and no referendum, the whole process could take four or five weeks.Sewage-treatment plant can’t take any more — Houle Tonique-Tropique project: Magog Lake group adds voice to opposition By Laurel Sherrer VAL-DU-LAC — The Association for the Preservation of Magog Lake says a $130 million hotel-spa-condominium complex being discussed by the town of Magog should not go ahead until the town expands its facilities for the treatment of sewage.“The position of our association is that the Tonic-Tropic project must come about only if there’s an enlargement of Magog’s water purification plant and furthermore, if an outlet is constructed so that the treated sewage be sent elsewhere than into the Magog River,” association president Y von Houle said in a letter to Memphremagog warden Roger Nicolet.The Magog River flows from Lake Memphremagog to Magog Lake and then on to Sherbrooke.The town of Magog is currently negotiating with Montreal developer Sergio Botella, who wants to build a nine-storey complex consisting of 150 hotel rooms, 150 apartment-style hotel units and a tropical aquatic recreation centre under a glass dome.The Memphremagog MRC has rejected, in principle, the town’s request to allow the zoning changes necessary to permit the construction of such a complex.The Association for the Preservation of Magog Lake applauds the MRC for its stand, said Houle.CAN’T ACCOMODATE “At present we believe that the sewage treatment station in Magog does not have the capacity to RECORD LAUREL SHERRER Yvon Houle, president of the Association for the Preservation of Magog Lake, says the lake has already suffered serious environmental consequences of development in the Magog area.Waterloo man bled to death after collision WATE RLOO — Police are investigating the death of a 72-year old man who was killed early Saturday by a hit-and-run driver.Dead is Patrick Nooman, 72, of Waterloo.Nooman apparently bled to death after his moped was hit head-on and run over by an unknown driver on North Road near Route 112.Police said the accident occurred at about 4 a.m.Saturday.Nooman was headed towards Granby, police said.He was spotted among the wreckage by a Canada Post driver on his morning rounds, police said.But he was dead by the time an ambulance arrived on the scene.His body appeared to have been thrown or dragged about 50 feet by the unknown vehicle.Police are on the lookout for a 1987 Ford pickup model F-150, F-250 or F-350 of unknown color.They say the truck’s right front signal light has been damaged.All the king’s horses and all the king’s men No force in nature — including heavy rain — is strong enough to keep kids off a playground.Canada Day activities in Bury Sunday included something for almost even/ taste.While their elders were admiring the horses getting ready for a pulling contest, these youngsters managed to maintain their concentration on sswinging mMHtt amd round, fust above the mud.accomodate such rapid development,” said Houle.From the beginning, he said, the Quebec environment ministry only foresaw a 10 per cent iftcrease in the 15,000 population of Magog.With the current economic prosperity of the region, the 10 per cent increase has already been reached.At a press conference Friday, Houle said the association is not against development in general; it only wants to make sure the region has an adequate sewage treatment network first to ensure that the environment does not undergo fur- ther damage.Houle said residents along the Magog River and around Magog Lake don’t want to receive pollution from the whole region and that sewage ought to be treated in the municipality which produces it.“We can’t be sacrificed for the sake of of development,” he said.LEVELS TOO HIGH Magog Lake has already born the brunt of the development in the Magog area, said Houle.The environment ministry has a system of specifying an acceptable level of waste in the water of Magog Lake — a level that will allow the regene- ration of the water and prevent stagnation — and that level is frequently surpassed, he said.According to Hydro Sherbrooke figures, the waste in the water of the Magog River was above acceptable levels more than 20 days of each of the months of July, August and September in 1985 and 28 days of July, 1986.The association plans to send a letter of protest about current conditions to the Quebec Ministry of the Environment, asking that Magog La ke cease to be the depository for all the pollution of the region.Researchers blocked by council move Magog council keeps its sewage output a secret VAL-DU-LAC (LS) - The town of Magog has refused to let a researcher take a sample of water from the water purification plant.The Centre de recherches expérimentales en restauration aquatique, a water-restoration research group, obtained a $49,770 federal grant and planned to work along with the Association for the Preservation of Magog Lake on a series of studies on the quality of the water in the lake and the Magog River.But the association’s June 10 request for access to the water purification plant to obtain 18 litres of water was denied.A letter from the town’s general manager, Yves Langlois, says that “due to the numerous controversies which have always been raised by the pollution and depollution of the Magog River and Magog Lake, the Town of Magog is obliged to refuse your request.” The town also denied the association’s request for statistics from the plant laboratory.The town council made this decision at a June 15 meeting.“It makes me suspicious when a town tries to hide things,” Yvon Houle, president of the Association for the Preservation of Magog Lake, said at a press conference Friday.Houle said the people of Magog of are concerned about the environment and are doing their part through their taxes; it’s just the town council that has to be brought back to its senses.Alliance: Language changes good for French, English rural minorities Continued from page I official languages.Civil servants will also be able to work in their own language.Orr said it is good that the report had included not only qualitative data on their findings but also quantitative statistics.“In deciding where services need to be given in both languages, they’ve taken a much broader view than simply statistics." WIDER ACCESS?“This should help widen access Man dies in Ascot Corner cycle crash SHERBROOKE — A motorcyclist was killed Friday morning when he tried to pass a truck which was making a left turn.Dead is Paolo Demers, 24, of Fleurimont.Demers died instantly at about 9:55a.m.Friday when he drove his bike into the side of a large truck he was trying to pass at an intersection on Route 112 in Aecot Corner, to services, especially in areas outside the Montreal region where population numbers may be low, but where the English-speaking community has been established for many years and has a demonstrable need for improved services,” he said.But Orr has a few criticisms of the bill.“There are a couple of things which are problematic.Like the extent to which the government will impose bilingualism on industries it has control over is unclear.” “If Crown corporations are privatized.will they still have the same provisions for adequate bilingual service?” Orr asked.Orr said a lot of people argue that it would be unfair to hold Crown corporations responsible because it is an “unfair burden" economically.NOT ENOUGH Under the new Official Languages Act.federal regulatory agencies and commissions can impose regulations for bilingual service.Orr says that's good, but it doesn't go far enough.“The restrictions are only on health and safety.We would like to see that go further." he said.In the case of a federal aaenev such as the Canadian Radio and Television Commission (CRTC) or the Transport Commission, Orr said, services should be extended beyond the simple health and safety provisions.“In the case of transport, it could be pushed beyond to a wider range of services such as bilingual information services In the case of communications, maybe they could be responsible for access for minority communities," he said.“It could be pushed a bit further but health and safety is a good first step.We re saying.let’s take that and explore it and push it further,” Orr said.Ml SOliS fcf/ JJ '¦ * J TÊT 4—The RECORD—Monday, June 29, 1987 S I ! ' « » I ?t I ( The Voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Editorial Death penalty a challenge to democracy When the House of Commons finally gets around to voting on the restoration, in principle, of the death penalty tomorrow morning, there just might be a serious challenge to Canadian democracy.In a number of surveys and opinion polls, it has become clear that a majority of Canadians want the noose reinstated.What has also become clear is individual members have been rather unattentive to their constituents.All moral haggling aside, the question, it seems, is whether or not elected officials will remember how they got to Ottawa in the first place.The vote will be a free one, meaning that every member is free of traditional party solidarity; every member can vote as his/her conscience dictates.Oris it a real “free vote”?In Canada, and most other countries claiming to be democratic, governments are elected by the people for the people.While this is a political cliché, it is one that is highly regarded.The danger in democratic situations, and this debate is highlighting that, is members have a tendency to think they are above the people they supposedly serve.If a certain riding is overwhelmingly in favor of the death penalty then how can the member that claims to serve that very community vote against their wishes?The same of course holds true for the reverse.Logic sould dictate that an MP would have to resign, would it not?Every day MPs vote against their wishes because party discipline demands it.This situation differs only in terms of political clout; ordinary citizens have none but party structures have plenty.On a issue as controversial as the death penalty it does not seem to make sense that the members could possibly ignore the opinions of their constituents.Yet from one end of this country to the the other, the inherent hypocrisy of our democratic system is becoming obvious.A member can not serve three masters (himself, his party, and his constituents) at the same time.As they are elected to serve the people, that should be their goal.If the public overwhelmingly wants the death penalty, then how can members take it upon themselves to provide a “higer morality” for the people they serve.The answer is that members serve their party and themselves before they come anywhere close to serving the public.JACK BRANSWELL When Nova Scotia shook the planet DARTMOUTH, N.S.(CP) — Some 50 million years ago, a meteorite three kiloetres in diameter hurtled through space at 72,000 kilometres per hour and plunged into the Atlantic ocean off Nova Scotia.The impact of this gigantic intruder had the explosive effect of 200,000 megatonnes of TNT — 12 times the world’s stockpile of nuclear weapons.When the dust and steam had settled, there was a crater near the Scotian shelf, 200 kilometres southwest of Halifax.It measures 45 kilometres wide — about the same distance as a runner’s marthon.It is three kilometres deep, with an uplifted centre that stands 1.5 kilometres high and 11 kilometres in diameter.“It’s awesome,” says scientist Lubomir Jansa, 50, in a thick Slavic accent.“It’s the only time when Nova Scotia was able to shake the whole planet.” Awesome is scientific understatement for what could be science fiction, but isn’t.These are the findings of painstaking studies by a team of four scientists, led by Jansa at the Bedford Institute of Oceanography, and Georgia Pe-Piper, a geology professor at St.Mary’s University in Halifax.Letters Message in respect to grad ceremonies To The Editor: On Monday evening, June 22,1987 a tragic accident took place which claimed the lives of four young lads, all 17 years of age, that touched the lives of many families in this area, who today as parents are trying to the best of their ability to understand the youth of tomorrow and yet make them realize that there are certain principles which MUST govern their daily habits and behaviour, in order that they survive and remain a large part of our every day life and community.Being a parent of our loving children, I remember in this particular area the wonderful graduation ceremonies which were held at the Alexander Galt Regional High School on Saturday, May 9, 1987.As a loving parent of a graduate son, hopefully, I would wish to convey publicly my heartfelt thanks and appreciation in the manner in which the spring prom was organized.My own personal opinion which was shared by so many of us, was that it was just fantastic.The decorations was beholding (accomplished by the graduates) and the music of the Moon Lighters was enlightening to the evening’s atmosphere.In order not to single out anyone in particular in case of absentee, I do feel however that it is necessary to say that because of the high standards, discipline and supervision set down by individuals such as school principal, Mr.Robert McConnachie, every student’s friend, Bob Halsall and wanting to include also all members of the faculty, as a loving parent of a graduate son I wish to take this opportunity of thanking you, firstly for a splendid evening of entertainment and more important ensuring us all as parents that our loving children of the next generation have been properly supervised and encouraged to be good abiding community citizens of the next generation.Now as a parent, I would want you as graduates to heed th»» warnines of your parents, act accordingly and always remember that in our message the word is firstly LOVE and secondly CONCERN.Touched by the incident which has taken the lives of four young lads, unknown to me and thankful that we were blessed in the area to not have had awaken to the same developments.Respectfully submitted on behalf of all loving parents WAYNE S.CLARK, Rock Forest P.S.If you MUST drink, please DO NOT drive ! People more important than objects or ideas Dear Editor: Nice picture but some explanations needed.I loved my cars as a younger man.Bought a new one every two to three years.One day over ten years ago, I woke up, I’d had enough! Consider: the prime cause of violent death and maiming in our society — our cars.Pay in and out, year in and out, violent bloody slaughter.Worse in total loss than all our wars.And that is just for starters.What an irony.We look at Indians with all our conditioned reason and wisdom (sic) and know the answer to their problems.For example: if only they would get rid of their “sacred cows”, (that symbol of life) all would be well with them.Now as for our “sacred cars” well consider: 50 per cent of acid rain, yes the stuff killing our forests, comes from cars and trucks.There is a lot of political hot air (nothing concrete yet) about smoke stacks in the Ohio Valley, Sudbury and Noranda.“Something should be done, they should do something about it.” But our own autos, what politician which citizen will dare get deal with the ego mobile?I’m still at starters.Leaded gas causes brain damage, especially to children.Slow and retarded people because we won’t have a motor that pings.Toxic heavy metals, salt, visual blight, noise, dangerous streets, acid rain, millions of dead birds and animals (road pizzas) yearly, injured friends, dead beloved.Don’t tell me about drunk driving.I’m talking about a homogenized reality.Yes I’m a fanatic and unreasonable.I hate death and our illusions.Bikes, ah bikes.Do you recall the Wright brothers were bike mechanics or that the Brooklyn bridge (and many others) was inspired by spokes in a bike wheel.So much of what we have is derived from that gentle technology.Bikes pre-date the car.If society survives the green house effect cause in measurable part by exhaust gases.If we survive and if reason joins with love we can expect to see a civilized society at last.A time when people are more important than objects or ideas.Love and reason will mean no cars, pollution or violent death.We will see : bikes, trains, buses or trams and sacred cows in India.JOHN FIRTH-WARLUND, Lennoxville On this day in history Today in History June 29, 1987 Bv The Canadian Press 1925 — King George VI opened Canada House in Trafalgar Square in London, England.1864 — Railway cars ran through an open drawbridge at St.Hilaire, killing 90 people.You ARE- ACCUSED of RIOTING UNlAWFUt ACTIVITIES, AW ( WORST o-f ALL O POSSIBLE LOSS of VCR SALES OVERSEAS.The Christian Science Monitor Summer holidays provide more time to reflect MASS EXTINCTION Published this week in the British journal Nature, the results are the first documented finding of an undersea meteorite crater.Further study of the crater could support the theory that the mass extinction of species, such as dinosaurs, was caused by meteorites.For Jansa, who immigrated to Canada from Czechoslovakia in 1968, the discovery was exciting.But he has always been motivated by the unexplored.“On my last birthday, I went to the base of Mount Everest but I didn’t go to the top because others had already been there,” he said.“Now, we have a first at the bottom of the sea.” The collision, Jansa says, probably created a tidal wave over 100 metres high and a cloud covering half of the North American continent for about two years.On the ground, species coped with a heavy rain of dirt and ash that was much like dust storms in Africa.Jansa believes the meteorite was only one-fifth the size needed to create the mass extinction postulated by some scientists.It crashed 16 million years after the last dinosaur perished.But he crater can still shed light on the theory's plausibility.“Here for the first time, we have an exciting opportunity to test this theory.The truth will come out in further tests.” said Jansa.Divining truth out of the watery depths will be no easy matter.To assess the effect of the impact, the scientists now will study marine and other sediments from the time of the collision in such countries as Portugal, Morocco, and the United States.Glaciers have since removed such sediments from Nova Scotia.The sediments and the fossil record may show there was mass extinction at that time.Also, if high irridium levels are found in material ejected long distances from the crater, it will explain what those levels mean.Irridium is an element linked to meteorites.Jansa will ask a scientific deepsea drilling program to excavate further rocks from the crater, but that could take at least five years to begin.“You can wish for me that people in the government will give us some money to carry out these studies.When 1 make such proposals, they usually say ‘you want to go on vacation, ” quipped Jansa.a member of the Geological Survey of Canada.School’s out! Summer holidays are here.Maybe more time to reflect.For teachers, parents and those involved in community activities, summer is a time to recoup energy and plan for next year’s programs.It is the new ideas that each of us takes responsibility for sharing that brings life and new hope into our classrooms and communities.As George Orwell reminded us, “History is a race between education and catastrophe.” Here are some resources to enrich and stimulate you to carry on and enjoy that race.Peace Education Network (Quebec’s) brochure is now available.PEN(Q) is a group of individuals and organizations dedicated to helping parents, teachers and community educators, find and use resources for the creation of a more peaceful, just and secure world.PEN(Q) offers books, films, audio-visual and printed information on various aspects of educating for social responsibility; curricula and classroom material for pre-school through university.Programs and events for conferences and community groups.There are guest speakers available for school, class, church, or community groups on these topics : how to deal with the fear of nuclear war, the nuclear arms race, what about the Soviets?, social justice and economic development in the Third World, global education, women, militarism and peace.Among the workshops available for teachers, parents, church and community workers are: methods of teaching for social responsibility, participatory group practices, ap- i 1 Càccmmm rpwrfijS By Rosemary Sullivan o proaches to teaching about war, peace and social justice issues, med literacy:

stage.Before the meeting begins, see if people will agree to these five ground rules.Setting group norms in this way helps to make the discussion easier and gives people the confidence to point out infractions: 1) no question is a dumb question ; 2) everybody has a right to his/her own opinion; nobody belittles or attacks another person’s ideas: 3) only one person speaks at a time.All listen to and value the opinion of others (even if you don’t agree with it); 4) respect and affirm differences : learn to disagree without argument or without’s ‘giving in’; 5) each person has the right not to participate.The next step involves improving the discussion.So much of our peacemaking time is spent in communicating with others in small or large groups.How can we help to make these discussions more fruitful and come away feeling that we have accomplished something?What does it mean to really hear’ each other?The following exercise was designed to help our workshop group focus on its discussion habits.After choosing a topic as a focus for our discussion (How do our attitudes about human nature affect the way we work with others?), we compiled a group list of components of a good discussion.When the ideas were listed on a flip chart, we contracted tc talk for ten minutes, stop and take a look at our process, add or delete new items on the list, then carry on with the discussion.We continued in this manner, bouncing back and forth between process and content for one and a half hours.One of the purposes of the exercise, was to illustrate that we are all capable of creating “theory” from our own practice, that we don’t always have to consult books or the “experts.” When theory is thus created, it is usually more meaningful and remains with us a lot longer.Why not try it with your group?For a copy of this guide which includes the pointers we culled from the exercise write or call me at Pigeon Hill Peacemaking Centre, 1965 St.Armand Rd, Pigeon Hill, Quebec

though-talk to explain this to her.I envied the shining, unmarked path that lay before her — clean, fresh, full of potential.In this little thought-talk I strove for objectivity which is never easy for me.I did not want to tell her about the mess we seem to have made of the world into which she had arrived or that just one item of daily news might make her long for a return to the warm, safe darkness of the womb.Absolutely no point in dwelling on life’s eternal frustration or on things like loneliness, sadness and fear.Growing old, one begins to feel that possibly the good times are gone and to regret less and less departure from so ruthless a world.My son, no longer a child, does not share this gloom and doom thinking.Nothing has been able to diminish his faith and eager expectations for the future both here and Little House By Katharine Snow in space.The new baby's genera tion may touch farther horizons and realize even greater dreams.This new child belongs to a different world.She would not understand why the prevalent practice of abandoning infants and children to strangers in day care centers shocks me so profoundly.She will never know that childhood as I knew it has gone forever.Mother Goose is long obsolete.A computer tells poor Simon what to do and say.Even God seems to be an anachronism.But I am too serious for so joyful an occasion as a new baby.This wee one will be so cherished and beloved.Her initiation to life will be made gentle and ultimately, she will find her niche in a world that will seem right and good to her.I pray that God will bless her always.All doors will be open for her and if she does not become Canada’s first lady Prime Minister, so what?She can join the Rotary Club!

North American-style Chinese food.Just as egg rolls and chop suey are the product of combining Chinese and North American cooking styles, preferred shares are a hybrid of two different types of investments.And like Chinese food, preferred shares have been popular with Canadians.Preferred, or preference shares as they are sometimes called, fall in the middle range of the investment spectrum — they have some of the characteristics of debt and some of common shares.Preferreds get their name from the way their holders are treated if a company is wound up.They generally rank after a company’s debt holders, but before its common shareholders in the event a company can’t meet all its financial commitments.The name is somewhat misleading in that during a profitable company’s normal course of business, preferred shares are not treated better than common shares.LACK VOTE Although they usually pay a higher dividend rate, the price of the preferred shares rarely increases much on the stock market.And preferred shareholders do not vote on company business unless their dividends are in arrears.Career shares like money I « MONITOR i isss; ÜÎÏ tm In the investing world, the greater the risk, the greater the potential return.Preferred shares fall in the middle ground of risk.Therefore, preferreds generally offer investors a slightly better return than debt instruments but less than common shares, considering both dividend and share appreciation.Unlike common shares, preferreds carry a set dividend payment.Common share dividends are paid out of a company’s profits and are only distributed after preferred dividends have been accounted for.However, distinctions between the various types of investments are blurring and many come with exotic features, so investors should study the attributes of each particular debt or share issue carefully.LIKE DIVIDENDS Investors primarily buy preferred shares for the dividends, which are usually paid quarterly and are set at the time the shares are issued.Most large companies have several preferred share issues outstanding and the issues are often MARKETING ANALYST An important employer of the area has a vacant position for a recent

Company X’s seven-per-cent preferreds refer to a share issue which promises to pay seven per cent of the share’s value a year in dividends.In the case of Company Y’s $2.50 Series C preferreds, the name indicates those shares pay $2.50 a year in dividends.Under the terms of most preferred share issues, dividend payments are cumulative.In other words, if preferred dividend payments are missed they must be accumulated and paid to the preferred holders before common shareholders can receive any dividends.For tax purposes, dividend income is treated as interest income rather than capital gains.And a special tax incentive applies to dividend income to encourage investment in taxable Canadian corporations.TAX REFORMS However, the attraction of preferreds may diminish as a result of the federal government’s tax reform proposals, which include a hefty tax on dividends paid on new preferred shares.The tax will not apply to existing preferred shares and analysts predict this will make the old shares particularly attractive to investors.In addition, Ottawa plans to change the dividend tax credit, which will slightly reduce the tax advantage of preferreds, and to eliminate the $1,000 investment income deduction, which was applicable to dividends as well as other types of investment income.OTHER FEATURES Other features often attached to preferred share issues to watch for: Callable or redeemable features: Most new issues of preferreds reserve the right to call or redeem the shares.This allows the issuing company to buy back the shares at a price usually slightly above the price the shares were issued at.Because of the drop in interest rates in the last few years, many companies are redeeming share issues and other forms of debt made during the double-digit interest rate period of the early 1980s.This is an obvious disadvantage to investors because a company would normally choose to redeem its preferred shares when interest rates fall — the very time when investors would most want to hang on to them.In addition, many preferred share issues have a purchase or sinking fund attached to them, requiring a company to gradually redeem its preferred shares by annual purchases on the stock market.Convertible preferreds: This allows the holder to convert the preferred shares into some other type of investment, usually common shares, at a specified price for a stated period of time.Retractable preferreds: These give the shareholder the power to force the company to redeem the share, at a specified price on a specified date.New U.S.spud plants look after their own WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S.Agriculture Department scientists have developed the first hybrid potato plant with a built-in insect repellent, officials have announced.Scientists predicted this could leaf! to commercial development of insect-resistant potatoes several ytars from now Team leader Stephen Sinden said the two-year project involved fusing cells from wild and commercial potato plants, then growing the hybrid plants from the fused cells.Sinden said the hybrid potatoes contain a rare gene for leptine, a chemical that repels insects.The leptine was passed on from the wild plant.“The most devastating pest of U.S.potato fields, the Colorado potato beetle, is repelled by leptine,” he said.“The beetles land on the hybrid plants as usual.They peel back a little skin on leaves and nibble, but then fly away.The plants are barely touched.” DEVELOP TOLERANCE Beetles in recent years have developed a tolerance to chemicals sprayed on potato fields.In tests scheduled this summer, it’s expected that the hybrids will resist insects such as troublesome potato leafhoppers.Leptine may be toxic to humans in large doses, but the hybrid plants make leptine only in the leaves, not in the potatoes.The hybrid plants produce much larger potatoes than the wild plants and are at least half the size of commercially grown potatoes now available, Sinden said.“We’re also pleased that the fusion hybrids are fertile, that they can be cross-bred to improve tuber (potato) yield and quality.” Career I «É* Health and Welfare Santé et Bien-être social ™ ^ Canada Canada NURSES

Nautilus joins the stock market By Allan Swift MONTREAL (CP) — Some stock market analysts sniggered when a Quebec health spa group recently issued shares and became a public company listed on the Montreal Exchange.Not Steve Sutherland, president and co-founder of Nautilus Plus Inc., one of several growing companies selling services to a fitness-crazy generation.“We’re just as legitimate as running a funeral parlor or a corner grocery,” Sutherland says, referring to other Quebec firms that have issued shares.Nautilus Plus followed the lead of several similar companies in the United States.Catering to people working on their figures is good business, but there is some concern in the industry whether this corporate muscle will someday turn to flab.Analysts agree the industry is changing, with a trend to larger clubs offering many activities, and to mergers.Market research by Holiday Fitness Centres Inc.of Toronto, which wants to expand from its 10 multi-recreation clubs, estimates that the 500 fitness clubs in Canada have more than three million members.With average monthly fees of $30, that adds up to $90 million in revenues a month.Jogging right behind is a sports equipment industry for tanning, massages, swimming pools, whirlpool baths, saunas, locker rooms, laundries, floor surfaces for jogging, aerobics, squash courts, computers for fitness testing and even packaged music for dance exercise.METHODS CHANGE “Some people say it’s peaked,” Sutherland said in an interview at a large suburban club which includes the Nautilus head office.“Fitness is here to stay, but the way you get in shape is definitely going to change.” Nautilus has more than 50,000 members who work out at 27 centres in Quebec and Ontario.Michael Levy, president of Toronto-based Racquet Sports Group of Canada Inc., said new records have been reached in the industry every year since 1981.“Every year the same question is asked, is the industry peaking?” Levy said revenues of clubs offering a single activity such as squash or body-building flattened out in 1985-86 while multirecreation clubs grew.Levy’s group has six multirecreation clubs in Toronto offering squash, raequetball, tennis, cardiovascular fitness, aerobics and circuit training.Several of them have a restaurant, bar, nursery and boutiques for equipment and sport clothing.“I don't think the industry has peaked at all,” says Peter Cafik, vice-president of Holiday Fitness, one of four major fitness companies in the Toronto area.“The demand is getting greater, but the facilities being built are going to drastically change.EXPECTS GROWTH “It’s going through the same evolution as grocery stores and shopping malls.People drive by the small strip shopping malls with five stores and head for the monster malls where they have everything under one roof.” Ten years ago Sutherland and his business partner in Nautius, Charles Constantin, were playing for the Quebec Nordiques.“I didn’t know anything about business — we were just hockey bums,” said Sutherland, who grew up in the northern Quebec mining region of Rouyn-Noranda.The men visited health spas on hockey tours, and then introduced into Quebec the U.S.exercise equipment of Nautilus Sports Medical Industries Inc.Nautilus Plus reported sales of $11.6 million for the first three quarters of its current fiscal year, and a profit of $1.2 million, up 73 per cent over the same period last year.Ford, Japanese defy auto trends as sales shoot up DETROIT (AP) — Car sales by U.S.automakers fell 11.3 per cent in mid-June from a year ago, but Ford Motor Co.and Japanese companies that build cars in the United States defied the trend.U.S.automakers sold 348,569 cars and light trucks in the nine selling days from June 11-20, down 5.3 per cent from 368,256 a year ago.While car sales fell, truck sales were up 7.6 per cent from a year ago, the automakers reported Wednesday.The automakers sold 223,376 U.S.-made cars and 125,193 U.S.-made trucks, compared with 251,920 cars and 116,336 trucks a year ago.Nevertheless, car sales moved at a nearly 7.4 million seasonally adjusted annual rate in the middle part of June, much higher than during the same period a month earlier, when the rate was about 6.8 million.“It appears sales figures are moving back up to an expected level, a more normal pattern,” said Chris Cedergren.automotive analyst with J.D.Power and Associates in Westlake Village.Calif.Analysts and many industry executives have predicted 1987 car sales will be about one million lower than 1986’s 8.2 million.The seasonally adjusted rate gives an indication of how many cars will be sold by year’s end.CAR SALES UP Ford’s car sales were up 14.1 per cent from last year, to 68,232 from 59,785.Ford's truck sales grew even more, improving 19.5 per cent to 46,863 from 40,064 a year ago and nearly matching General Motors Corp.GM, the largest U.S.automaker, lost nearly 10 percentage points in market share from last year as its car sales fell 25.3 per cent.GM’s truck sales fell 10.1 per cent from a year ago.GM sold 111,407 cars, for 49.9 per cent of the domestic market, compared with 149.086, or 59.2 per cent of the market, a year ago.Ford, on the other hand, increased market share to 30.5 per cent from 23.7 per cent a year ago.Joining Ford in grabbing sales from GM was Honda Motor Co., which old 8,246 U.S.-made cars; Nissan Motor Corp., which sold 4.332.and Toyota Motor Corp., which sold 1,198.Advertising is a guide to fashion.CANADIAN ADVERTISING FOUNDATION NOTICE TO CANADIAN PACIFIC

pricked the overhang monster — a multibil-lion-dollar pool of unused corporate breaks, say tax specialists and economists.“The overhang problem really has not been touched,” said Bill Lawlor, national tax director at the chartered accountants Thorne Ernst and Whinney in Toronto.“It’s still there, still an issue.” “I suspect that when they started looking at it, they just threw up their hands and said ‘Anything we try to do about it is going to be a problem,’” added Mike McCracken, president of the Ottawa-based economic forecasting firm Informetrica Ltd.Corporations have accumulated as much as $30 billion in unused tax losses, deductions and credits — the equivalent of about three years’ worth of corporate tax revenues.“That’s led to a situation where there are many corporations — I believe it’s in the order of about 110,000 corporations — which are profitable and not in a taxpaying position,” said David Holland, the Finance Department’s director of tax policy and analysis.The overhang has made it difficult for Ottawa to gauge how much to expect from corporate taxes each year, prompting Finance Minister Michael Wilson to call the overhang “an ongoing source of instability in the corporate tax system.” But though the overhang helped prod Wilson into tax reform, his proposals released June 18 will succeed — at best — in only limiting the growth of the tax overhang, say tax experts STILL THERE’ “While the problem is still there, it probably won't get bigger,” said Bill Strain, national tax director at Toronto-based chartered accountants Deloitte Sells and Haskins.Federal officials suggest one reform measure — a special tax on preferred share dividends from profitable companies that don’t pay any tax — will play a key role in taming the overhang.Dividends paid by one corporation to another had been tax free on the assumption that the money came from profits already taxed.“In putting this tax in place, we will at least begin to put the floor underneath those corporate tax revenues,” said Holland.But Michael Manford, chief economist at Merrill Lynch Canada Inc., questions the effectiveness of the new tax, suggesting that an “alternative corporate minimum tax would have been a better way of doing it.” The reason, he said, is that a minimum tax would force corporations to pay something—no matter what breaks they used.“That allows legitimate use, but as soon as you get into abuse it chops it off.That would have been a far cleaner, simpler and more ef- fective way of doing it than creating another 50 pages of legislation.” A minimum tax, added Lawlor, would also have been better than another measure aimed at the overhang — the proposed general anti-avoidance rule.MAJOR PROBLEMS The regulation — intended to ban deals whose sole aim is ducking taxes — has some major weaknesses, he said.For one thing, it’s not yet in effect — and there’s no indication when the new rule will be in place — “so people will still try and sell tax losses.” But even if it were implemented, the new rule would not prevent a company buying Dome Petroleum Ltd.from using Dome’s more than $2 billion in tax losses as long as it was in the energy business, Lawlor added.A minimum corporate income tax would stem this by ensuring that all corporations would pay some tax on their profits, he said.“I suspect that the minimum tax might have inflicted some pain in too many places that Michael Wilson didn’t want to inflict pain.” Wilson has said he shied away from a minimum tax, in part, because it was too complex.“That’s a joke,” said Lawlor.“If it’s a political reality that we must have it for high-rate individuals, I don’t know why it isn’t political reality to have it for profitable corporations.” Entrepreneur has not forgotten By Michael Bernard VANCOUVER (CP) - Barbara Rae recalls when so-called office temps were a kind of second-class citizen who could draw a scowl from managers just for looking up from their work.“I can remember, one day, working in an office when the Pacific National Exhibition parade went by on a Saturday morning.Everybody else working in the office got to watch the parade going by while the temporary had to keep working — that was me.It really bugged me to be treated that way.” That was more than 30 years ago.But the woman named B.C.Business magazine’s Entrepreneur of the Year has not forgotten.Since becoming president of Office Assistance Ltd.Rae has earned a reputation for improving the lot of temporary office workers, especially by developing their skills — and their wages.The structure of Office Assistance, whose $26.7 million in sales last year makes it the largest of its kind in Western Canada, mirrors her quiet campaign to put women on an equal footing with men.Rae and three vice-presidents — one woman and two men — manage a workforce of 10,000 part-time and 300 full-time employees through 15 offices from Vancouver to Toronto headed entirely by women.Hers is a kind of matter-of-fact feminism, in contrast to the more fervent brand practised on university campuses in the 1970s, when she became president of what was then a small office in Vancouver.WOMAN FIRST "If I have the opportunity, I certainly hope we could find a woman (manager) first simply because I’ve got the opportunity," Rae says, sitting in her comfortable.open-area 12th floor office overlooking Vancouver’s business district.Some successful wome are defensive about their achievements, feeling others should have to make the same hard climb, observes Bonnie Irving, editor of B.C.Business.But Rae thinks it's important to help other women fulfil their potential as well, “and it takes a very secure person to be like that.” In naming the first recipient of its entrepreneur’s award, the magazine also wanted someone who could be a model for other women.That is a role Rae accepts with some reluctance.“You become a little bit concerned about role modelling and other people taking it too literally — that if you take this path and you do this it equals success,” Rae said.“That always worries me because there is no one road for everybody, in business or in personal life." She doesn’t let it stop her, ho- wever, from seeking out high-profile positions where aspiring women cannot help but see her as an example.In April, she was elected chancellor of Simon Fraser University, where, in 1972 she had become the first woman to graduate with a master's degree in business administration.She agrees the position is largely ceremonial, but she sees it as a chance to discreetly influence the university to foster the growing role of small business and the opportunities for women to take part.TRADITIONAL PATH Born in Prince George, Rae took the traditional path, leaving high school to become a secretary at the Bank of Montreal and then an administrative assistant with Edmonton’s planning commission before moving to Vancouver when her husband was transferred.In 1953, she was named vice-president of Office Assistance and bought into the company with a borrowed $3,000.It's no surprise that her company now encourages other employees to invest and even makes interest-free loans.Rae is definite about the kind of entrepreneur she doesn’t like.“I’m very, very suspicious of those who did it alone and got very wealthy,” she said, adding British Columbia has its share of those.“They are usually egomaniacs when they make it.” By Darlene Rude The Canadian Press The crowd presses around the bale picker for a close look at the latest in labor-saving devices for farmers.The giant red machine, displayed at the Western Canada Farm Progress Show in Regina, picks up 600-kilogram bales of hay as if they were loaves of bread and tosses them on to a flatbed trailer big enough to hold a Greyhound bus.There are a few oohs and aahs and some polite queries, but no one steps forward to buy the $60,000 machine, built in Wawota, Sask.For vendors of farm equipment, that’s hardly a surprise.As grain prices hit rock bottom and land values decline, so does the demand for new farm machinery like tractors, combines and swathers.'Focusop^anringJ » • .< -i POACHING PATCH UP OLD The downturn in the western farm economy has meant that farmers are either picking up used equipment at auction sales or patching up the old stuff with hopes it will make it through another season.The Canadian Farm and Industrial Equipment Institute is predicting another tough year for farm machinery manufacturers, especially if they specialize in bigger, higher priced products like combines and four-wheel drive tractors.Sales of all sizes of tractors—the most basic piece of farm machinery — are expected to decline four per cent this year, says the institute, which represents manufacturers and distributors.In the first four months of this year, sales of mid size tractors have dropped 54 per cent from last year.COS BILLIONS Some estimates say the decline in sales, which started in the early 1980s, has cost North American dealers $7 billion and 200,000 jobs.But rather than lie down and die, the industry has become aggressive to survive in what’s definitely a buyer’s market.“We re not unlike the farmer — when times get tough you have to go out and do a better job marketing your product,” says Bill Perry, general manager of the Regina show, the largest of its kind in the world.Despite the tough economic times, there was no lack of equipment companies wanting to rent space and show off their wares.EAGER TO DEAL About 475 companies, some from as far away as Australia, polished up about $150 million worth of equipment for display and gave away baseball caps and two-for-one admission tickets to try to interest farmers.The list of deal-sweeteners is long — there are rebates, low-rate financing and free warranties.Brent Hamre, president of the equipment institute, said rebates of $30,000 are being offered on a $100,000 piece of machinery.Despite the tight market, companies aren’t cutting the amount they spend on development of better machines.MANY NEW TYPES “There’s been an incredible amount of new models of tractors

So help me God there’s Anglican priests now that’s wearing hand-me-downs from the Micks!” As if that would cork a duck, or something.Come to think of it, it is something.In the strictly Fundamentalist home which nurtured me, the Roman Catholic faith was thought to be rank heresy.It was indeed almost pagan, because like a pagan religion it depended upon ritual and elaborate ceremony rather than a simple declaration of faith.Where we went to church the man in the pulpit didn’t even have h is collar on backwards.He wore a shirt and tie like any other man, and there was never any mystery about what he was saying to us.In the Catholic church, so we were told, the priest read from some big book filled with Latin.That was so that nobody could understand it.The prayers were in Latin too, and that chanting rigmarole was in Latin.When we were pious young Protestant pups we would sometimes tease our Catholic schoolmates by trying to chant like a priest.”.I can beat any son-of-agun playing Domino - o - o!” The Catholic religion depended on magic and mystery and shivery things to look at.Ours was a faith of the spirit and it needed no holy gad- H.Gordon Green getry to support it.And if you needed any other proof of the utter worldliness and materialism of the Catholic church, you had only to consider how wealthy it was.Why the Pope owned more than General Motors, didn’t he?I was thinking of the accusations we used to cherish about our Catholic neighbours as I lugged home that basketof discarded vestments the other day.And I was still thinking about them last Sunday morning when, in a weak moment, T happened to turn on my television set.Because the screen seemed to have been taken over for the entire morning by glory-thumping, born again evangelists of the very kind that my sainted old mother once prayed that I might be.Jimmy Swaggart and Oral Roberts seemed to be competing on my set - Jimmy talking mightily about the everlasting torments of a sure-enough hell, at the same time Oral was promising for the thousandth time that “something good” was going to happen to me today.(I kicked the ram in the head late that morning and broke my toe.) And then there was the ever confident Jerry Falwell, the ever smiling Robert Schuller and three or four others whose names I have happily forgotten.But as I listened I couldn’t help but wonder whatever had happened to the humble simplicity of the old-time religion which pleaded so tearfully for my soul’s salvation when I was a boy.The first preacherman I tuned in that morning was exhorting us sinners from a luxurious semi-tropical setting.Jimmy Swaggart thundered hellfire to his comfortably convinced in a building which must have cost more than an Olympic stadium.And there was Oral Roberts and all his beautiful young gospel singers dressed in matching costumes that must cost more each week than what the tattered old priest back home used to get in a whole year.And as I was transported from one pleading preacherman to the next, and from one extravagant setting to another, I couldn’t help but tremble to think of how much money must be drained from people who can’t afford it to buy the trappings which now seem to be an inseparable part of modern, born again, Protestant evangelism : the jet planes, Christian dis-neylands, the glass cathedrals, colleges, costumers, musicians, television crews, stage managers, business managers, publicity managers.And suddenly those vestments I had lugged home didn’t look quite so pagan anymore.From the Pens ofE.T.writers GRAMFATHERS G - is for grandfathers we used to share together R - when they listen to their radio.A - always was there to care, M - so much they used to do -F - forgive the things we did “bad”.A - Never have another one we all liked -T - together with everyone.H - the house they lived with their family -E - Their equal rights they had.R - for some are rich and some are poor.For we thank you, grandfather -For the love we used to share.Written by TAMMY and TIMMY HAMELIN and JENNY ROYEA South Bolton Mrs.Willis Willey 292-5785 Supper guests at the home of Mrs.Lilian Willey and Jane were Mrs.Nan Chipman, Cape Breton Island;

Donor i- s ss South in today’s deal.Watch his action.Despite his strong hand, South was content to overcall only one diamond since he did not expect his bid to be passed out.When North raised and East bid two hearts, Seymon introduced his spade suit.After North rebid diamonds on the three-level, East bid four clubs and South closed the auction with five diamonds.With a club led, declarer had his problems.He was off a club and a heart, and it therefore looked as though he needed both the queen and the jack of spades to be with East to avoid a spade loser.But there was one other possibility.What if East held the A-K of hearts, but West had the nine?That was worth a try, so Seymon promptly led the heart eight at trick two and played low from dummy.East did what he could, false-carding by winning with the ace.East then cashed a club before leading a spade, but declarer was ahead of the game.He won the spade ace, played king and a diamond to dummy’s ace, and then took the ruffing finesse in hearts.That enabled him to pitch his two losing spades on dummy’s good heart honors and bring in the contract.This winning play risked nothing.Even if East had the nine of hearts, South could still fall back on playing East for both spade honors.And a reasonable split in diamonds would give declarer enough dummy entries to take that double finesse.A new book by James

the Danville Golden Age Club took place June 9th.Forty-two members and non-members met at St.Augustine’s Church Hall at 7 a m.It had rained the day be-forè.and it was wet in the morning, but the weatherman’s report made all hopeful for a better day.However, it was not to be.A short stop was made at the border into Ontario.We then travelled along the south side of the Ottawa river, crossed over the Hawkesbury and followed the north side of the river westward to Montebello, arriving there about 11:30 a m.This is a place of extraordinary structure and history.It was built in 1930.The first log was laid on April 7,1930 and it took thousands of workers, labouring day and night, to complete the attractive six pointed, starshaped log structure in a record time of three months.The three original buildings were constructed out of 10,000 red cedar logs transported directly to Montebello from the forests of British Columbia by Canadian Pacific Railway.It was first called the Seigniory Club, then as Le Chateau Montebello since it was taken over by the Canadian Pacific Hotels in 1970.Many celebrities from political establishments, such as Lester B.Pearson, Pierre Trudeau and Ronald Reagan have visited here.Movie stars Bette Davis and Joan Crawford have come to the hotel and “Jack Rabbit” Johannsen visited here in 1934, and again when he was 110.The Economic Summit, at which heads of the most industrialized nations in the world exchanged ideas, was held at the hotel in 1981, and again in 1983.The Papineau Manor is situated on the grounds of the hotel, and was built between 1846 and 1850.It was lived in by Joseph Papineau, a member of the legislative assembly of Quebec, and was passed over to his son, Louis-Joseph Papineau, who played an important role in the Rebellion of 1837.The building is now a museum and remains a testimony of that particular time in history, and is welcoming visitors from all over the world during the summer months.A very well informed guide directed our group through the manor explaining its history.We then went to the dining hall by w ay of the large hexagonal lobby and centre fireplace of the main building.Here all enjoyed a bounti ful, most delicious meal About 2:30 p.m.the bus was en route to the Botanical Gardens.But, we were surprised by a heavy down pour before we reached Montreal.As it was decided that it would be unwise to visit the Gardens, we went to the Mt Royal Shopping Centre where some relaxed while others found a few things to buy.The bus took us also up on Mt Royal where we had a view of the city.After another stop at a restau rant in the Olympic area we set out for Danville, arriving about 9:45 p.m.Games, singing and visiting along the way combined with a super fine dinner, and excellent dri ver and guide made the day a very enjoyable experience.United Church Women hold Anniversary Service DANVILLE — The U.C.W.of Trinity United Church, Danville, celebrated the 25th anniversary of the

lawn.A beautifully decorated carrot cake made by Dora Dubois was al so enjoyed.SUMMER LIFESTYLES Cool summer treats help beat the heat For almost everyone, summer is a time to relax and enjoy the good things in life.So whether summer finds you heading for the beach with a good book or pursuing more active interests such as tennis and golf, chances are you’ll look forward to cooling off with a refreshing ice-cold beverage.“The reason why we’re thirstier in the summer is that the body cools off by sweating, thus losing liquids," said Sue Leason, a registered dietitian with The NutraSweet

SHERBROOKE — Like postmen when they’re not on strike, young Quebec athletes ignored rain and winds this weekend to compete in the high school provincial finals at the University of Sherbrooke where more than 1,200 competitors participated.And the host team of the 19th annual meet fell just one place short of finishing at the top of the competition after being in third place going into the last day.The 84-athlete Eastern Townships squad won the silver medal at the meet with 376 points, while the Quebec City Region easily earned the gold with its 460-point performance.As president of the Eastern Townships Inter-scholastic Athletic Conference Brian Heath said, “our local teams did very well.” Jennifer Smith, 13, from Richmond, for instance, won a gold in the 2,000 metre which she holds the provincial record in.She also placed second in the 1,200.Yvon Coté, 17, from the same school earned a silver in high jump with a height of 1.84 metres.Waving the flag for Bishop’s College School were Fraser Bertram, Fern Turpin and Jennifer MacGil-livary.Bertram, 17, earned a gold in the 3,000 and a bronze in the 1,500; sprinter Turpin, 17, placed first in 100 metre and second in the 200 metre, and MacGillivary came fourth in the 400.Mary Durrell, 17, was one of Alexander Galt’s medal winners with a gold in the 800 metre and a bronze in the 400.Schoolmate Keith Lane, 17, earned a bronze in the discus throw.“I felt our team had fairly good depth across the board,” said Heath.He said he also felt the meet was a success, not only because it was organized well, but because the intensity level was high among competitor and spectator alike.The only medal winner from Massey-Vanier High School was Willie Palov who was part of a relay team which won a bronze medal in the 400-metre relay.Regardless of the rain, the stands were most often full, often with sign wavers and people chanting “Quebec, Quebec.” “It was a very good experience for our athletes,” Heath said.Richelieu, which won the competition the last two years in a row and includes athletes from Massey-Vanier, came third with 362 points.Greater Montreal and Lau-rentides tied for fourth with 265.Provincial records were set by Melissa Driscoll from Sept lies in the juvenile category (16-17) in the 3,000 metre with a time of 10:45.57 (beating the old mark of 10:47.9).Yannick Landert from Outaouais set a record in the same distance in the midget boys with a time of 9:00.8 (the old record was 9:15.2).And Frederick Lavoie from Saguenay was airborne for a distance of 6.14 metres in the long jump beating the old midget record of 5.81.MEDAL WINNERS FROM 84 ATHLETE EASTERN TOWNSHIPS TEAM Juvenile Girls Julie Gayer, 100 metre (gold), 200 metre (silver); Mary Durrell, 800 metre (gold),
